Next Year's Plans

So, I am so thrilled with the results of this year's garden that I am tempted to expand.

I started reading Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew. (http://www.amazon.com/All-New-Square-Foot-Gardening/dp/1591862027/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1312466590&sr=1-1) It's getting me super excited for next year! According to the book, I should figure approximately 32 sq. ft. of growing space per adult. That's 64 sq. ft. for Max and me. I have a preliminary drawing of the raised bed design. I welcome your comments.

This design has approximately 114 sq. ft. of growing space. I know I don't need that much right now. It's kind of an eventual destination. So, maybe next year I will do one of the long boxes and add the 2 small ones the year after that and so forth.
